The County Measure on the culture, craic and complex identity of Dublin

Join writer and broadcaster Vincent Woods as he delves into Dublin on August 6th, as RTÉ Radio 1's The County Measure uncovers the vibrant arts, sports, history, heritage and diverse communities of Co. Dublin.

From a bake-off in Ballyfermot, stories in Stoneybatter, to cúpla focail and coffee in Tallaght, Vincent takes a measure of all that the "Dubs" have to offer. The hum and life of both city and county will be covered in this radio odyssey of Dublin.

The capital of our country has always been known for the power of the spoken word. A new and exclusive work from Dublin poet Stephen James Smith will feature in the programme.
